Besides, the extended mud cover now features emergency reflectors on the side, aside from one at the bottom end tip below the number plate.
Speaking of which, the number plate mount at the front is made up of rubber mounds and that helps reduce vibrations. The handlebars now get raisers, a feature that is carried over from the Dominar 250. Furthermore, the handles now also get a unique floating-style knuckle guard with integrated fly screens. These small additions for wind protection are really effective during long-distance touring, which keeps you less fatigued.

Features
Aside from the dual-LCD screen set-up, the Dominar in general was never rich in features. But this time, the addition of a USB port below the top LCD screen near the ignition key unit, and a mobile mount stand are indicators that Bajaj might introduce the 2022 Dominar 400 with Bluetooth connectivity. Also, going by the fact that Bajaj has registered the name Neuron , the chances are even higher this time.
Besides, it still features the same aluminium-frame rearview mirror, LED headlamps and rear light unit, and dual-exhaust pipes that have the same heavy, throaty note.
